Are you using condoms or a diaphragm as a contraceptive? If you are then no sex since the oils in the medication can break down condoms and diaphragms. If you are not using these, the only problem is that the infection can be passed to your husband and reinfect you during your next sexual intercourse. Alka Seltzer doesnt cure yeast infections.

Well I am on birth control. I didn't think the alka seltzer would cure it haha, just that it might help with the pain of it. I know I'm being silly and should just heal first. Thank you for the response! I wasn't aware it could be passes to him :/ so oh well. We will still have fun. I just hate these things! Is there anyway to prevent these? I was taking antibiotics which is usually what does it for me.

Nothing much will help this quickly - sorry! To prevent more, the moment you start on an antibiotic get a strong formula of probiotics. You can get these at Health Food Stores, and they must stay refrigerated! Also you can eat, or apply directly on the yeast rash, plain yogurt - make sure it says "active cultures". You can even apply yogurt now - open up a capsule of the probiotic and mix it in - then apply and let sit for 10-15 minutes. Sorry your special night isn't what you had hoped. Here's to having a night learning how meet each other's needs through massage and taking the time to learn what feels good. when and where. Nothing wrong with that! Regards - EJ

Yes we canceled date night, but had a nice night at home! Thank you for the tips! I will have to remember that! I had heard about the yogurt but that sounds even more effective. Day 3 and I'm finally starting to feel a little better. Thank y'all for the comments :) katniss
